Terms & Conditions

1 · Introduction and Acceptance of the Terms

QITAF Educational Company operates the Aqwam Qeela website, its events, and its tracks. These Terms apply to the use of the sponsorship and Takween City participation application site (partners.aqwamqeela.qa) and to the submission of sponsorship or participation applications through it. By using the website or submitting an application, you acknowledge that you have read these Terms and the Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or submit an application.

2 · Eligibility and Capacity

You must have the legal capacity required to submit an application and to agree to these Terms. If you apply on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you are authorised by it to submit the data, documents, and consents required, and to receive correspondence relating to the application.

3 · Permitted Use of the Website

• Using the website for lawful purposes connected to learning about Aqwam Qeela, applying for sponsorship or Takween City participation, or communicating with us.
• Providing accurate, complete, and up-to-date data, and not impersonating others or submitting their data without authority.
• Not attempting unauthorised access, disrupting the website, testing its vulnerabilities without permission, or uploading harmful software or content.
• Not using the website to send unsolicited messages or unlawful, misleading, or rights-infringing content.

4 · Application, Review, and Confirmation

• Submitting a sponsorship or participation application is not a final acceptance, a confirmed booking, or an allocation of a stand, space, or seat, unless confirmed in writing by the organiser.
• Applications are received through the website and stored in its application-management system, where they are reviewed by the authorised QITAF team. The organiser may verify data, request supporting documents, and reject or cancel duplicate, incomplete, incorrect, or non-compliant applications. The review result is sent to the email address registered on the application, and further correspondence may take place at info@aqwamqeela.qa.

5 · Fees

The website does not collect any payments and no amounts are paid through it. The sponsorship tier selected in the form is recorded as data for review purposes only; it is not a financial commitment, an invoice, or a binding offer. Any subsequent financial obligations are governed by a separate agreement after preliminary approval. No amount may be paid through any link or entity not officially announced by QITAF.

6 · Stands, Spaces, and Seats

The application form does not include the selection of a stand, a space, or a number of seats. Stands, spaces, and seats are allocated by QITAF after preliminary approval, in accordance with the sponsorship guide or the Takween City participation guide, and subject to availability, operational requirements, and security and safety requirements. The organiser may amend the allocated position where necessary, while seeking to provide a suitable alternative and to notify those concerned wherever possible.

7 · Modification, Postponement, or Cancellation of the Event

For operational, security, or regulatory reasons, or for circumstances beyond control, the organiser may amend the program, the speakers, the dates, or the venue, or postpone or cancel the event or any part of it. The change is announced through the official channels. This does not prejudice any rights that may not be excluded under the law.

8 · Photography and Recording

The event may be photographed and recorded for documentation and media coverage purposes, in accordance with the photography notice and the Privacy Policy. Arrangements relating to identifiable individual images or promotional use are completed at the venue, in direct coordination with the person concerned, where the law or the nature of the use requires it, and guardian-consent requirements are observed for minors.

9 · Intellectual Property

The rights to the website, the Aqwam Qeela identity, and its original content belong to QITAF Educational Company or to the rights holders licensed to it, as applicable. You are permitted to view and use the content for personal, non-commercial purposes only; content may not be copied, modified, republished, or exploited without written permission or a legal basis. Materials owned by speakers, partners, or participating bodies remain subject to the rights of their owners.

If you submit materials, logos, or images through the website as part of a participation request, you confirm that you hold the right to submit them, and you grant the organiser the permission necessary to use them in reviewing, managing, and communicating about the request. Any wider use is subject to a separate agreement or consent.

10 · External Links and Services

The website may include links or services provided by other parties. QITAF does not control their content, availability, or policies, and their use is subject to the terms of those parties. The inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement of all of its content or acceptance of responsibility for it.

11 · Website Availability and Limitation of Liability

We seek to keep the website and its information available and accurate, but interruptions, errors, maintenance work, or events beyond control may occur. To the extent permitted by law, the organiser is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising solely from temporary inability to access the website or from unlawful use of it. These Terms do not exclude any liability that may not be excluded by law.

12 · Privacy

The processing of personal data is subject to the Privacy Policy published on the website, which forms a complementary part of these Terms.

13 · Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Qatar, and the courts of the State of Qatar have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them, unless the law requires otherwise.

14 · Language

These Terms are published in Arabic and English. In the event of conflict or difference in interpretation, the Arabic text prevails, unless the law requires otherwise.

15 · Severability and Non-Waiver

If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in force to the extent permitted by law. A delay by the organiser in exercising any right is not a waiver of it.

16 · Amendments and Contact

These Terms may be updated when the website's functions, the event's requirements, or the law change. The updated version is published on this page together with the last-updated date. For enquiries, contact support@aqwamqeela.qa, or info@aqwamqeela.qa for application matters, or call 50037775.
